STEUBENv1LIE, May 2s.-It wa graft
fying to every one when the news went out
that the Board of Directors Of our base ball
c,ub, at its session last Sunday afternoon,
decided to place the management in the
hands of a practical base ball man, and to
reorpanize the club. For some reason the
Directors alterward decided to defer &C
tion. and the result was that on Thursday
Manager Woods arbitrarily insisted on
putting McGregor, a new man, behind the
hat in order to try him. Asa consequence
the Mansfield boys got enough runs IN on
nassed balls to win the game. Almost the
entire nine, after playing good pail on
Monday. Tuesday and wednesday, ana
winning three straight games from San
dnsky. on Thursday let completely down
and played as rotten a game as any oi
the season. The score stood at the close:
Mansfield IA, S~teubenville II, when with
any kind of decent playing on the part oil
Steubenville the score should nave been
Steubenville II, as the visitors made s IN
the second. . in the third and = In the
fourth inning, that they should not have
had at all. But as long as Mr.. Woods has
the RIGHT 10 exercise his own sweet Will IN
the placiug of men and conducting other
inportaut matters in the management oil
the club. nothing can be expected than
humiliating defeat when a brilliant victory
should be the result. The three victories
Gained over the Sanduskys went just far
enough to stifen up the hackers Of the club
TO such an extent that they placed their
money ON the game on Thursday and lost

| Directors that a change of managers Is
necessary. If they should so decide at
their meeting this Sunday afternoon they
will be expressing the wishes of a large
majority of the lovers OF the nationai game
